What is GST?

GST, or Goods and Services Tax, is a unified indirect tax system introduced in India in 2017. It has replaced multiple cascading taxes like VAT, Service Tax, and Excise Duty. GST is levied at every step of the supply chain but is refundable to all parties in the chain except the final consumer, making it a destination-based tax.

Total Amount = Original Amount + GST Amount

2. GST Inclusive:

GST Amount = Original Amount - [Original Amount × 100 / (100 + GST%)]
Base Price = Original Amount - GST Amount

Example 1: GST Exclusive

Product Price = ₹1,000, GST Rate = 18%

Example 2: GST Inclusive

Total Price = ₹1,180, GST Rate = 18%

Advanced Use Cases of GST Calculator

The GST Calculator isn’t limited to just basic billing. It also helps users manage complex tax scenarios such as mixed supply, composite supply, reverse charge mechanism, or intra/inter-state GST implications. Let’s explore these in more detail:

1. Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)

Under RCM, the recipient (not the supplier) is responsible for paying GST. This applies to services like legal counsel, transportation by GTA, or goods imported by a registered entity. Using the calculator, businesses can compute the payable tax liability even if no invoice is raised by the supplier.

2. GST on Mixed and Composite Supplies

The GST Calculator can help determine tax on total bundled value based on classification.

3. GST Rate Changes and Transition

From time to time, GST Council revises rates. If a product was taxed at 18% but is now at 12%, the GST Calculator allows side-by-side comparison to understand how pricing and profitability are affected.

GST Filing and the Role of the Calculator

Every registered business must file monthly or quarterly GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B). The GST Calculator simplifies data collection and verification during filing. Here’s how:

GST Calculator for Interstate Transactions

If you're dealing with IGST (applicable when buyer and seller are in different states), the calculator helps compute total tax applicable and correctly divides it under the right head (IGST vs CGST+SGST). This avoids mismatch during return filing and prevents rejection of credits.

Input Tax Credit (ITC) Reconciliation

Businesses can use the calculator to identify the exact GST paid on purchases. This enables accurate ITC claims. In GSTR-3B, input tax should match the output tax structure, and this calculator makes that process easier.

Yes. Our calculator offers both options. Choose whether the entered amount includes GST or not, and it will automatically calculate GST value, base price, and total invoice.

Q2. What if my product has multiple GST rates?

You can use the calculator for each component of the product separately, then sum the tax amounts. For complex structures, consider using HSN-based tax classification.

Q3. Is GST the same for services and goods?

No. Some services attract standard 18% GST, while certain goods may fall under 5%, 12%, or even 28% depending on category. Always refer to the official GST rate schedule.

Q4. Can I calculate CGST and SGST splits?

Yes. For intra-state sales, the calculator splits the tax equally into CGST and SGST. For inter-state transactions, IGST is shown as a combined value.
